It's not the best breakfast I've had (I had better for the same price range), but it was very clean and kid friendly. It was also relatively quiet for this kind of restaurant. It's a nice place to meet with family.

I have not been to a Nickel's restaurant in over 38 years. I found one and went in for Dinner. I was seated right away. Only 3 customers in. But after 15- 20 minutes or so, still no service. I decided to leave, the person who seated me, saw me going for the door and asks me why I was leaving. I told her that no one came to my table to take my order 😒. I told her that if it takes that long for service. I was wondering how long it would take for the food to arrive at my table. I told her, thank you but goodbye and went somewhere else.

Food was ok but service was very slow

★★
October 25, 2019

The waitress that seated us seemed rude (didn't say hi or smile when seating us down). Then her shift ended , and we switched to another waiter. Service was extremely slow, (took over ten minutes for him to give us the bill, and even more time to correct the pricing on our bill) even though the restaurant was mostly empty. Food was just mediocre. Would not come back.

I called to reserve the seat for 15 people on Sunday at 6.30pm. They took the reservation and after 30 minutes management called and said that no place available have to cancel our reservations. We went to see the restaurant it’s was only 2 tables with only 4 customers. Great management!! Keep up the good work,,,

I didnt like it too much My lunch was cold I even told the waitress why it was cold And she didnt know what to answer And whats more, there were a lot of stupid fruit flies, Ive never seen that, its the last time Ill have in this Ayoye restaurant so

October 23, 2024

Nous sommes arrivés à 10h, à 10h10 nous étions à la table et nous n avons pas eu de café ou de boisson / d intervention avec la serveuse avant 10h55. Aucun bonjour , aucune présentation , elle ne nous parlait pas et traînait ses pieds . Le service était long , nous étions prêt à commander pendant 40 minutes et nous n avions pas eu de services . très déçu .

My wife and I went to eat, we had good memories of our visits to Nickels. This last visit was also memorable but for the wrong reasons. We ordered 2 aranchini and a spinach tempette as a starter. as a main meal, a nickel poutine and a nickel spaghetti. after 45 minutes of waiting we were served. 2 anranchinis, no spinach dip... wanting to leave as quickly as possible we dont mind we eat the aranchinis. the main course arrives another 45m later. 1h30 after we ordered... I received my nickel poutine without the smoked meat, only to have the waitress insist that I didnt order a nickel poutine, but a regular poutine. 10 minutes later, she comes back with a plate of hot spicy smoked meat, no excuses and leaves before my wife can even tell her that her dish is not to her taste in short, a very disappointing visit, nickels never again

I was pleasantly surprised, I thought this restaurant was closed. I ordered a breakfast of 2 eggs, bacon, sausages, ham, creton, homemade baked beans, homemade potatoes with fresh and ripe fruit for $15.99 its a generous portion and the waitress Jacinthe was super friendly and attentive, I will come back every week for sure, its 2 minutes from my house and its 1000 times better than Allo mon coco located right next door.

Worst table service Ive had at a restaurant... I came with a friend and we were the only ones in the restaurant so they could serve us in a respectable manner without any problem! In addition to having brought us poutine instead of a pizza since the waitress didnt take notes (fortunately the dish was changed) she was talking on the phone at the same time about serving us... Im giving 1 star because the food was good!

We come for a takeaway meal, two people pass by the cash register without speaking to us, we leave. A big 0, you should have stayed closed.

The staff is seriously lacking in skills and experience. For 3 breakfasts, we asked (very politely) several times coffee and we received it when we got up to ask for more. Our meals arrived without the toast (5 slices instead of 6) of white bread even though we wanted brown bread. No butter, no jam, no peanut butter. Please provide training to staff.

April 23, 2024

The service is 0, I came for lunch, waited 20 minutes for the coffee to be brought to me, and its because I complained

J ai reçu ceci à la livraison,pain beurré avec la moutardes et une bouchée de pris, jai téléphoné elle ma répondu, mon boss est pas ici jpeux rien faire,la salade on dirait quelle a passer la semaine dans le contenant,jose pas imaginer comment ça se passe dans leur cuisine.

We went there on a Wednesday evening, good service, quiet and large so perfect when you have children, but while we were waiting for our order, it started to smell bad, the waiter told us that there was a sewer outlet at the bar level. We were seated near the entrance to the shopping center and it was ok but otherwise it ruins your appetite!!!

Nice welcome, fast service I ate a standard lean smoked meat sandwich and not jumbo with Swiss cheese a soft drink with salad it was very good except that when the bill arrived my head gave me 2 turns $24.45 apart from the tips. I told the waitress there was an error on my bill she replied sorry but no in a slightly embarrassed tone I must not be the only one who made the remark to her. Expensive for a sandwich... you have to have the taste! You are wise!

December 23, 2022

I went to breakfast this morning. To begin with, there were items missing from my order, the waitress never came to see me to ask me if everything was correct and I had to get up after 15 minutes to ask for the bill. There was a hair in my toast. the manager or owner behind the counter eating in full view of everyone and licking his fingers and shaking his hands in the kitchen area or who has the kitchen counter without ever washing his hands. It took forever to receive the bill despite only having 3 tables in the section. Terrible service and very unprofessional!

Tissa the waitress was unpleasant, not smiling and it was obvious that she didnt want to serve us, she threw the cards on the tables and took them from our hands... Although the meal was good but she ruined the moment for us. So no, sorry, no tips (which she forced us to give her by looking at the TPEs insistently) Not great really

The dish came quite quickly after ordering, but the service was really slow. The waitress doesnt come to the table very often. +/- 15 minutes of waiting to pay my bill. The presentation of the dish was good. Vegetarian options: The options are not indicated on their menu, so it is difficult to identify them.

I really like the restaurant, although I would really like it if they would let you choose which piece of cake you would like hahaha maybe they are all the same, but the one you want is the one you see. On the other hand, they get offended when you say if you can choose. Well, a question, do you know what price a whole cake is? Please

I like this restaurant chain. I remember when we went there with family or friends and we had the smooth meat or the smoked meat spaghetti and we paid 2 to get the second for 5 cents and split the bill. Too bad we cant do it anymore.

Service was all right but they didnt asked for my QR code although its mandatory since a few days. The food was disappointing: had a burger that was way to salty and I could feel powdered black pepper in my mouth. The bun was burnt and flat. The tomato and oignon felt fresh tough.

Getting there is already a torture in itself! Lots of streets are closed around, we have to take detours Part of the dining room was reserved for a show. There was only one waitress for the whole group. Knowing that there was a show it seems that they could have planned the staff accordingly! Obviously, as a result, the service was long, we had difficulty asking for what we wanted On the food side, the crisp, lacked, for my taste, cooking. There were a lot of poes and little crunch on it The club sandwich (traditional) was ok, the bacon on the other hand really good

December 23, 2020

I went yesterday, July 11, 2020, to this Nickels in the Le Boulevard Shopping Center and I am very dissatisfied with this visit. For months I hadnt gone out because I followed the instructions and yesterday Les Productions Pierrette Dubois presented the group Les Excentrics. I arrived at 6:00 p.m. I ordered 1 pizza/Caesar and 1/2 liter of white wine, my bill said Miscellaneous $2.00. I asked why and was told it was because I made a pizza/ghetti substitution for pizza/Caesar. 7:30 p.m., the waitress finishing her shift, brings me my bill. I pay her and ask her to send me another waitress, because I want a Brazilian coffee. The new waitress brings it to me and heads out to smoke on the terrace. I wait for her to come back and tell her that there is salt rather than sugar around the glass and that it is undrinkable. She brings me another coffee and heads out onto the terrace once again to smoke. When he returns, I ask him to change it for me; its cold. She brings it to me and comes back not even 10 minutes later with the bill, even though the show isnt even over yet. I show him that Im really not happy with the service by not giving him any tip. Totally inadequate service when I think about who raised this restaurant when it was in decline. Céline probably wouldnt be happy.

The food is good and the service friendly. The only thing that disappoints me, and this is not the first time that this has happened to me (center le boulevard branch) is that almost every time we order starters, the main course arrives well before we were able to enjoy our starter....I mean, with a salad is still okay but when you have calamari or onion soup, the main course will be cold before you finish the starters. Too bad

On a reservé pour cinq, le serveur nous a situé sur une banquette pour quatre. On a demandé une chaise supplémentaire, mais la serveuse nous a dit que ce ne n était pas possible, car sinon elle ne pouvait pas circuler. Mise au fait que personne n était à l entour de nous. Résultat, on a dû manger sur deux tables différentes. Je mets une étoile car la nourriture était bonne.
